Nicholas Hornyansky was born in Budapest in 1896. Hornyansky studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest and became an accomplished portrait painter, exhibiting in Antwerp and Brussels. He took up etching and landscape painting and returned to Paris to study aquatint printmaking before emigrating to Canada in 1929.

He exhibited regularly with and became a member of the Ontario Society of Artists and an Associate Member of the Royal Canadian Academy.
